NETWORK PERFOMANCE ANALYSIS OF HEALTHCARE MONITOR WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK

Abstract

The Wireless Sensor Network is a set of autonomous sensor nodes that can be fixed or moved and performs various different tasks. In the medical field, wireless sensor networks are an irreplaceable option for remote health monitoring and observing without being limited by wired connections. This paper is to explore WSN systems for practical health care. The authors performed the analysis and design of WSN system for health monitoring, assessing factors which are affecting the performance of WSN in the health monitoring model. Based on the results of analysis and evaluation, the authors implemented the installation of NS-2 simulator and Mannasim module in order to simulate the WSN system with probability distribution of health parameters. Since then, the sensor node simulation function is designed using a flow generation source as the probability distributions analyzed. In order to evaluate the results of the study, the authors performed simulation experiments, analyzed the performance of the network and then came to a conclusion.
